Just off the main highway is the coolest little bar and restaurant. It was once a stagecoach stop on the old road that was literally passed over by the Highway. Make a small detour on the old road that actually takes you under the new road and you will be delighted by this little secret gem. Good food, nice staff and often live music can be enjoyed.

Great spot to make a special trip for. Recommend reservations in advance. And definitely get the try tip 🤤🤤. I got mine without bun (my intention was to finish all of the meat - which I did!).

I heard about this place from a friend. I live about 75 miles away, so I had to stop next time I was in the area. You won't see this place from the highway. No signage until after you turn off the 154. Follow a narrow 2 lane road and you'll find this rustic destination. Reservations are required for dinner at this time. I didn't know this when I arrived. The host estimated a 10-15 min wait. It ended up being closer to 2 min. The food was amazing. We ordered the tri-tip and the BBQ ribs. Both were amazing. The ribs were the most tender I've ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes were perfect. Definitely worth the trip.

Fun adventure. Cool historic sights. Tasty food. Great drinks. But get there early cuz it gets busy. If you plan on eating at the restuarant, reservations are highly recommended.

3.5 stars for the food
5 stars for the staff and atmosphere.
Ordered the tri-tip and buffalo burger. Both came with 1 side, we ordered the onion rings and the black bean game chili.(extra $3) The buffalo burger was good, pretty standard with lettuce and choice of cheese and so was the black bean game chili. The Tri-tip sandwich, I really wanted to like it, but it was tough to chew. It does come with the sauces which helped. Tried to order the hot cider but it was sold out. Overall, I would come back just for a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. Staff and live music really made it a wonderful little spot on the weekends.

What a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend this cozy place in the mountain - both food and service were above my expectations. Loved their onion rings, tri tips, and scallops. Need to make a reservation for dinner via phone call. Will visit again.

Stopped in for some lunch from a suggestion from my Dad who frequented this joint 50-60 years ago. Was a really good burger! Cool place.
